The European mentality of this German silent was a bit racy for mainstream American tastes of the era; nevertheless, the images created by director Paul Czinner told this story well. A wife (Elizabeth Bergner) is bored by her overweight slob of a husband (Emil Jannings). She gives in to the temptation of a slickly seductive poet (Conrad Veidt). The cuckolded husband (a common role for Jannings) tries to convince the pair to stop the philandering, but the wife runs off with her lover anyway.

Sadly the story is a unremarkable and slightly dull adultery drama, but the acting is pure class! How can it not be with Emil Jannings, Conrad Veidt & Elisabeth Bergner up front as Bergner is trapped between a brutish husband and a man that gives her the attention she so dearly needs. There are some nice touches here mixed in with the terrific acting, but there really is something missing to elevate this up to the standard of movies these actors were performing in at the time.
